☆ how the boxers react to being flirted with ☆

Sorry for dissapearing (again), i was busy damaging my hearing, enjoy my woobification teehee

Glass Joe

- Really depends on how you flirt with him, if its poetic or really straightforward hes gonna turn into a tomato

- hes not giggling, its just your imagination nuh uh

- he def rolls in bed like a rotisserie chicken while thinking about ur pick up line

- hes gonna try to flirt back until its just a competition of who blushes the hardest

Von Kaiser

- actual jaw drop from him, the more poetic the better

- in shock, his brain literally turns off

- has to check his pulse because GODDAMN his heart is beating harder than usual (You may have a heart palpitation, kaiser)

- you live rent free in his head now congratulations

Disco Kid

- right back at you, if youre a bit too straightforward he may need to tell you to slow down

- youre getting a response IMMEDIATLY. And i mean it, fresh out of the oven, thrown at you with some sprinkles on top

- giggling while he calls you cute names like sweetie, honey, baby etc etc

King Hippo

- nice try, HES AROACE!! (GET HEADCANONED IDIOT!!)

- he laughs it off while making it clear hes not into you or anyone

- flattered though, appreciates the fact that you were willing to go out of your way to approach him

- if he was not aroace or only ace, he'd just smile, the more poetic you go with him the better you have chance of making him go red

Piston Hondo

- hes suddenly cosplaying a cherry

- loves poetic rizz, will definitely go back at you until both of your flirting attempts sound like two lovers mailing each other in opposite sides of the world while one is at war

- if youre straightforward he just gets flabbergasted, like what do you mean there isnt a build up for it with 20 poems inbetween??

- cant focus rest of the day, hes internally screaming off a mountain

- the sight of you just makes his ability to focus evaporate

- draws and/or writes about you rest of the day

Great Tiger

- if you use something clever you can get a small blush out of him

- if you're the type to go for poetic lines youre gonna need to call 911 because his soul literally vanishes from existence, tiger dont go into the light stay with us PLEASE

- has to have his clones give him flirting advice because his flirting skills are not there (like 80% of my hearing)

- his flirting attempts are just "damn, are you a construction worker?, because you are a building." no matter how much he tries

Bear Hugger

- he makes his reactions clear, literally emotes while you flirt with him

- if youre poetic or straightforward he literally just says "woah"

- he just turns into that one cartoon wolf im not kidding, literal "ohh mama hubba hubba" from this man

- his flirting style is very straightforward, not "hey babygirl" type but "youre so pretty i would leave all my belongings and change my identity if it ment i could hold your hand" type, do you understand??

Don Flamenco

- replies 1.2 seconds after you, he needs to have the last word here (or last rizz in this case)

- literal mirror, the more more straightforward & atrocious your lines are the more straightforward his are going to be until it devolves into both of you sounding down bad, when they go low, he goes lowER

- poetic lines makes him have a heart attack

- its actually possible to fluster him

- unironically says babygirl to anyone hes flirting with when approaching, it doesnt matter how tall, strong or flirty you are, your gender doesnt matter, he can and will call you babygirl, its a gender neutral term for him, corners you while doing it

Aran Ryan

- evil cackling, if you put a organ over his laugh you suddenly get a scooby doo villain, he sounds less like hes flustered and more like hes about to detonate a nuclear bomb

- unhinged lines, ends up getting restraining orders thrown at him

- brings things he finds cool to flirt, ranging from flowers to rocks (he was a evil crow in a past life trust me his left eyebrow told me)

- cartwheels away

Soda Popinski

- maniacal giggling, even if its not THAT good & ridiculously straightforward

- his pick up lines unintentionally sound like god tier shitposts & end up working somehow

- corners you (in the romantic way) if you're really direct

- has the silliest giggle when flustered, literal "hehe" coming from this man that could snap you in half if he wanted to

Bald Bull

- you think the others are bad at handling flirting?? Then you havent seen bald bull because OH MY GOD HES ABOUT TO LITERALLY FLY OFF THE EARTH

- hes actually fairly difficult to fluster but once you find his weak spot hes gone from there

- cannot flirt back, blurts something dumb out like "sorry im all red pretty people make me nauseous"

- he literally goes (> - <) when blushing & covers his face with his hands

- the more direct you are the closer he gets to passing out

- stutters a lot (omg y/n is that you)

- Bull, this is bottom behavior

- people use the most unhinged pick up lines on him, someone once told him "let me milk you."

- his hands automatically go 👉👈 if hes too flustered

Super Macho Man

- Stop boosting his ego please, he may be flustered but youre kinda enabling him

- dumbest pick up lines

- also another unironic "hey babygirl" user

- if he doesnt know what to do he just throws money & valuables, 5000 dollars be upon ye

Mr Sandman

- oh my god he has the sweetest smile ever (if you dont go too straightforward), he doesnt blush a whole lot but he just chuckles a bit

- if youre direct, his jaw also drops like huh??

- his weak spots are poems & small gifts

- a little bit dense but once he gets it he smiles like crazy

- giggling kicking his feet whenever he remembers that

i always fear that bc we dont see eddie with a love interest he wouldnt want a love story/relationship...i saw you talk about that its cannon he wants one can you elaborate it pls? thank you <3

I talked about it earlier that it depends on where you draw the line between canon and headcanon. I'll elaborate both, but please bear in mind that this is supposed to be free of shipping (I simply sum up the interviews and what they mean regarding your ask), and that option one (canon is only what's on screen) leaves more room for headcanons than option two (canon is what's on-screen AND off-screen).

If you define canon as solely the things that are shown on screen, the topic is a bit ambiguous: yes, we never see him with a love interest. Bear in mind that we only see one normal day in Eddie's life - the rest of the season, he's on the run and doesn't have a chance for a love story even if he wanted one. On screen, we see:

Eddie flirts with Chrissy/shows romantic subtext in this scene

Gives Steve the advice "If I were you? I'd get her back. Because this was as unambiguous a sign of true love as these cynical eyes have ever seen.

We get to know him well enough to deduce that he's not the fuckboy type of guy and wouldn't be even if he could (though it's heavily implied he's not popular with the chicks; and it's heavily implied that it doesn't bug him that he's not popular with the chicks). So wanting to enjoy life as a bachelor and be a Hoe TM can be excluded from the reasons as to why Eddie could be opposed to having a romantic relationship. Which leaves his sexual orientation as a possibility (being aromantic or ace or aroace), or the fact that he's scared of being hurt (which would fit his character and the running-away theme linked to his character. Better to avoid letting someone close enough to hurt you.). Though I can't see the latter either, with how fast he opens up to Chrissy and later Steve, allowing himself to be vulnerable with them. Plus, in Stranger Things, the default of a character is always "would want a relationship", so that's that. Ambiguous, but I feel there's a lot of factors hinting at Eddie wanting a relationship and not a single factor hinting against it.

If you define canon as everything going on on-screen as well as off-screen (what the writers and the actor say about the character) - like I do - it's a lot clearer:

Joe confirmed Eddie's romantic feelings for/interest in Chrissy ("crush", "romantic intrigue", "on the outskirts of falling in love", which you can see here)

Joe said it would be nice if Eddie and Chrissy could have been "a pretty uncouth couple" and that they "should be together. What a weird couple" (affectionately), confirming that he thinks Eddie and Chrissy would have become a couple and implying that Eddie would have agreed to a romantic relationship with Chrissy

Joe confirmed that, had Eddie survived, he'd have loved for Eddie to "graduate, go on tour with Corroded Coffin, maybe meet a nice girl, wear better clothes, live a nice life", which implies that Eddie's interested in a romantic relationship outside of Chrissy's character

there's nothing hinting at Joe or the writer thinking Eddie wouldn't want a romantic relationship, which confirms that the default is "willing to find love"

As I said, I personally headcanon Eddie as demisexual and wanting a relationship while being equally scared of one because it means he could get hurt, but is willing to risk his heart getting broken for someone he falls for - and I think he easily falls in love.

But again, which option you choose and what you define as canon is on you, both are equally valid 🖤

Chifuyu Imagine

so uh thisll be my first ever fanfic after so itll be a short cliche one . ps dont judge too much :sob:

CAFE MORNING

The scent of warm airconditioned room filled your lungs while you sat on the table that was beside the window. Fresh out of the shower at 5:30 in the morning, not even the coldness of the water splashing your body made you awake but still somehow managed to walk across the cat cafe sat the end of the street. The birds and crickets sang a sleepy tune that did not help you focus on the paperwork in front of you, the only thing on your side was the caffeine available in your drink.

No one but the barista rubbing the cups and glasses clean with a smooth cloth was in the store with you, along with some cats sleeping soundly on the carpet. Your parents gave you the advice of studying first thing in the morning since apparently your brain will not be thinking of anything else but your topic. First thing you think about when you wake up is failing the exam, clearly resulting that the logic unfortunately does not apply to you making you want to scream into your pillow.

Staring at the thousand words for 30 minutes made them look like they were dancing in front of your very eyes. Now regretting and questioning yourself why you did not listen to the lesson your professor explained to the class. I mean I guess it was not your fault since he sounded so monotoned he'd go viral for making asmr on any social platform, who wouldn't want to listen to history for 3 hours am I right?

When you realised you were slowly slumping onto your chair made you rub your eyes and sit straight, mentally slapping yourself to try keeping you awake. Which of course failed horribly as you thought of dropping out of school, but the disappointed faces of your parents standing in front of the door made you shiver. Not to mention, you also felt like you were forgetting something.

The bells ringing on the front door made you snap your attention towards it. Diverting your attention towards the figure of a blonde boy who had earrings and soft facial features. Even the cats woke up and started going towards him when he bent down to scratch the side of their necks, the corners of his mouth curving upwards.

You haven't notice you were staring for a good amount of time when he glanced and gave you a warm smile. "Ok now I really can't focus." You thought to yourself returning the smile then went back to reading your history lesson. The figure of the boy was still in your vision, making it look like you were focused on the screen of your laptop, you brain instead thinking about him.

Guessing that he went to the counter to order something you wondered where he would be sitting. After sometime he still has not went to his table, you clearly saw him walking towards you, typing on his phone with one hand and taking a sip of what seemed like an espresso on his free hand.

Help what huh what in the ha what's happening. You panicked in your thoughts, thanking your parents for giving you a calm poker face because you were not the best at trying to hide your feelings inside.

"Uh hey." He spoke with a tone that reassured you he was not going to kidnap you or any of the like, then putting your attention towards him you greeted the blonde with a 'Hello'.

"You're Kazutora's friend right?" He asked, putting his phone in his pocket.

"Yeah I am, you can take the seat in front of me by the way I don't mind." You said and gestured towards the seat available. He thanked you, set his espresso on the table, and sat down on the chair. Still wondering how he knew Kazutora.

"Are you the one who was looking for a job in a pet shop or did I get you mixed up with someone else?" He gave a light chuckle when a cat started rubbing itself down his legs, which he paid no attention to.

"Yes that's me. How do you know Kazutora?" You asked him, closing your laptop and engaged in the conversation you had. "He told me I would be meeting up with the new person who wad willing to assist me in the pet shop? I thought he told you that we would be meeting up today."

Oh so that's what I was forgetting. You thought to yourself again.

"Shit I completely forgot sorry." You rubbed your eyes then heard him tell you it was alright. "I really do wanna work for you but yeah sorry for forgetting I was overthinking about my history quiz coming up today."

"Oh?" He titled his head very slightly. "That's great, hearing that you'd want to work for me, but if you want to I can help you study your lesson, you seemed like you were struggling there. I know my history too." He said, giving you a genuine smile.

"Thank you so much I hope it wouldn't bother your or anything." You told him as you opened your laptop. He lifted his chair up and went towards. "What's your name by the way?" You asked.

"Chifuyu and you are?" He told you then extended his palm towards you.

“Y/N.” You shook his hand, feeling his warmth in the cold conditioned atmosphere. You two broke off then focused on the words present on your screen. His head was leaning towards your laptop, dangerously close with your body as you sat straight awkwardly, only seeing the back of his head.

“Alright I got the gist of it.” He turned his head to meet your eyes. “So here’s what we’re gonna do. This will be connected with the job, each question you get right will be counted, so you need to get 20 questions right in order to work for me at the pet shop. Get it?” He explained and sat back on his chair.

“And what if I get one wrong?” You asked him. He answered with, “It will affect your current score, so for example if you already got five questions right then soon got one wrong, you will then only have 4 points left.”

“How many questions do I get exactly?” you asked for the mechanics again, nervous that you’ll get one wrong then you’re out.

“About 30, or if I have to, I’ll give more for you to reach 20 points.” He drank his espresso that was just lying there for the whole time. “Just tell me when you’re ready and I’ll start asking you the questions.” He went back to his original spot to the other side of the table towards me.

“Alright give me an hour if you don’t mind.” You said as your scratched the back of your neck.

“Sure take as much time as you need, I have all day.” Chifuyu explained as got up from his chair and drew his attention towards the cats that were eager to play with him.

-Timeskip to where he started asking questions because i don’t know shit about history-

“Come on you can do it one more question left and you’re good to go,” says Chifuyu as he cheered you on when you felt like giving up when you only needed to get one more question right. In total you go four questions incorrect but you got them all in a row which was pretty tiring to get your way back up. The cafe was starting to get filled with people making it harder for you to focus because of all the noise. “Alright last one this one is an easy one you’ll get this right. How many years did Spain colonize the Philippines?”

“Chifuyu you know I suck at remember numbers hold on,” You said frustratedly as you placed your face on the palm of your hands trying to remember the answer.

“You can spend more time with me if you answer the question right you know,” He indicated that looking at you straight in the eyes with a soft look as his eyes glimmered, wondering to yourself if your heart skipped a beat.

“Three hundred thirty three years.” You answered breathing out, not realising how long you have been holding your breath. Chifuyu grinned at your reply and leaned forward to pat your head.

“Congratulations on getting the job Y/N,” he stood up and grabbed a pen out of his pocket, grabbing a tissue from the table and started to write something down on it. “Also, best of luck on the test, I know you’re going to ace it.” He gave you a genuine smile then handed out the folded piece of tissue he wrote on. You opened it then it revealed his number inside along with a small cat face on the side, making you laugh lightly. “I’ll see you at work then.”

hi there!! i've seen some other anons ask u for advice/thoughts so i hope this is ok to ask but feel free to ignore if not/if u dont have the energy lol i'm just Frazzled and looking for insight !!

i'm in a v new relationship, my first ever and i'm 23 so i have gone a VERY long time without experiencing relationship-y things and i have absolutely no idea what i'm doing lol. he is understanding about my inexperience but after our 4th date yesterday i realized he's a lot more... tactile?? and flirty than i was expecting. i am Very easily flustered by all this as u can imagine (being alone and generally non-touchy for 2 decades will do that ig lol) and i genuinely have no idea how to respond/reciprocate?? like it's kind of nice, it's the kind of thing i always dreamed of really! but now that i'm really experiencing it i just feel so awkward and uncomfy and idk how to bring it up without hurting his feelings lol. like, cuddling?? making out??? i don't rly Get It ig, like we would kiss for max like 30 seconds and i'd have to pull back and stop bc it's so overwhelming to me, but he just seems so comfortable and open that i feel bad that i'm not lol. i feel like i wanna become more comfortable with it but i also feel like i need him to take it slower yk??

idk, ig i was just wondering what your thoughts on all this are and whether you had any ideas on how to broach this... i'm clueless lol. (also, sorry for the novel omg)

ok standard disclaimer that im just a little dude (gender neutral) and haven't been in a long term relationship so take what i say w/ a grain of salt - u know ur own situation much better than me!

ftr i think everyone moves at their own pace when it comes to physical affection / flirting and while it's amazing n loads of fun it can also be very stressful and tiring and vulnerable esp. if it's new so you definitely have nothing to feel bad about in terms of not being up for everything yet! it's good you're not feeling pressured into things and that you're giving yourself time to acclimatise.

i also think it's a great idea to communicate this stuff to him. obvs I don't know you or him but it sounds like it's more a question of pacing / taking things slow and I'm sure he'd want you to be comfortable first and foremost, so I would try not to worry about hurting his feelings? from his perspective I feel like if he knows your boundaries he can go about doing things at a speed that's going to be more enjoyable for both of you, and as you get more comfortable you guys will b able to figure out what u like doing together.

basically: bringing this stuff up is definitely scary but it sounds like ur in a relationship with someone who's willing to be understanding and like, once u and ur partner are on the same page abt physical stuff it feels sooo much more amazing even if ur barely 'doing' anything at all
